Nintendo Software Technologies, the same development company working on Ridge Racer 64 on the Nintendo 64, has been working on the Game Boy Color exclusive conversion of the arcade, Game Boy, and NES Capcom action/adventure, Bionic Commando.

Nintendo stopped by with a near-final version of the game early this week, and it's quite a blast to play. You can take the role of either of two characters, and the game itself spans side-scrolling levels, top-down levels and even a few first-person sniper levels. There's more than 20 levels in this game, and it looks better than it ever did on the NES and Game Boy.

We'll have a preview of the game next week, but here's a small bite of things to come: check out the screenshots below, and check back with us after the weekend for even more shots of Bionic Commando in action.
